Chapter 65: Cherry

Yu Yu made the tea, picked up the porcelain teapot, and poured the tea liquid into the plain porcelain teacups.

Hearing Helian Shan's words, her hand holding the teapot paused there, and after a moment she began to pour the tea.

Lin Jia and the others all looked at Helian Shan, waiting for Helian Shan's next step.

Helian Shan's expression was solemn: "Last night, Old Man Xu came with that strange-speaking young man in white again, in addition to giving the minister thirty taels of silver, he also gave the minister an old mountain ginseng!"

He bent down and picked up a bag from the small table in his hand and opened it for everyone to see.

When they looked at it, they found a bag of silver and an inconspicuous ebony box in the baggage.

Helian Shan put the bag of silver aside, picked up the ebony box, opened the message for everyone to see, and then presented it to Lin Jia: "Lord Lin, look, they also gave me an old mountain ginseng!"

Lin Jia took out the old ginseng from the ebony box, looked at it, and said, "Although this looks like an old ginseng, it is an authentic Korean ginseng!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him intently, especially Yu Yu, his eyes were round, waiting for his explanation, Lin Jia couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "The old ginseng of the Great Song Dynasty is produced in Liaozhou, but the old ginseng in Liaozhou is thin and small, with long fibrous roots and many fibrous roots; The main root of Korean ginseng is straight and single, and there are few forks, so it is called 'don't go straight ginseng'. This ginseng does not have many fibrous roots, and the taproot is straight, which is obviously Korean ginseng! ”

Everyone laughed.

Yang Xin said: "It's still Lord Lin who is well-informed!"

Lin Jia looked at Yu Yu and found that Yu Yu was still looking at him, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

He lowered his head, took a sip of the teacup, and did not speak.

The reason why he was able to distinguish between Liaozhou's old ginseng and Goryeo's Korean ginseng was because he had been poisoned too many times and often used ginseng to hang himself......

After putting down the teacup, Lin Jia looked at Helian Shan: "Lord Helian, tell me about the young man in white again!"

Helian Shan looked at the tall and big, but very detailed, he was afraid that something would be missed, so he recalled while saying: "That person was still wearing a black gauze last night, but he changed into a moon-white collared brocade robe, and he still had foundation soap boots on his feet...... When they came to see me, it was late, and the gates were closed, so I suspected that they were living in the city, and when they had taken their leave, I sent my servants to follow them, and found them staying at the Anjia Inn on Mahang Street! ”

Lin Jia groaned slightly and asked, "Did you promise them?"

Helian Shan hurriedly said: "Lord Lin, I will follow your instructions and say that you have already asked about this case, and I can't be the master!"

Lin Jia nodded, and Xiuchang's eyes narrowed: "If you promise them to withdraw the case, I'm afraid Mrs. Xu's life will not be saved......"

Yu Yu was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he understood: the priests served by the Xu Jiagou sect first fell in love with Xu Erniang and Jin'er's mother and daughter, and asked the Xu family to sacrifice the mother and daughter, but Xu Er and Xu Lizong refused, and the result was not in vain, and it was said that the main god was doomed.

Mrs. Xu didn't know the real reason for the death of her second son Xu Lizong, and she put her second daughter-in-law Xu Erniangzi and granddaughter Jin'er on consignment with Renyazi.

Next, the priest fell in love with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Zeng, and the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Shaozong, scolded Zeng in public in order to stop Zeng, but Xu Shaozong disappeared that night. Xu Laohan claimed that his son was taken away by God and should have been killed by the Salvation Sect.

Mrs. Xu didn't know the inside story, and shouted that she wanted to go to the county government to complain, but Xu Laohan couldn't resist her, so she had to follow to the county office, who knew that Lord Lin of the county actually took over the case.

After going back, Xu Laohan should have been warned by the people of the Salvation Sect, so he took the priest of the Salvation Sect to find Helian Shan and ask for the case to be dismissed.

After figuring it out, Yu Yu's face gradually turned pale.

The situation has developed to this point, the Salvation Sect should come to see Lin Jia soon, and there will be two outcomes next: if Lin Jia agrees to cancel the case, the Salvation Sect may forget it, and even absorb Lin Jia into the Sect and use Lin Jia to expand its power; If Lin Jia refuses to close the case, I am afraid that it will be dangerous in the future......

She was worried about Lin Jia in her heart, so she silently picked up the porcelain teapot again, filled everyone's teacups, and retreated.

Hu Yingzhi glanced at Yu Yu, saw that her face was pale, and couldn't help but be a little worried, picked up the tea cup, and glanced at Yu Yu again.

Yu Yu didn't notice Hu Yingzhi's gaze, she finished pouring her tea and sat back behind the tea table.

For a while, everyone dispersed, and Lin Jia sat there alone thinking about his thoughts.

Yu Yu knew that Lin Jia had a furrow in his chest, so he re-brewed a lamp of maple dew tea and sent it to Lin Jia.

Lin Jia's slender fingers tapped on the bookcase, and suddenly called Ah Qing and ordered: "You go and ask Commander Ye to come over, I have something to discuss with Commander Ye!"

After Ah Qing left, Lin Jia leaned back on the back of the circle chair and continued to think about his thoughts.

At this time, the back window of the study was open, and a white magnolia was planted in the small courtyard, and the white magnolia was blooming, and the flowers were large and delicate, as if carved from white jade, exuding a rich fragrance.

The fragrance of magnolia flowers enters the study from the window, and the fragrance of flowers and tea is mixed together, which has a unique and elegant taste.

Yu Yu was afraid of disturbing Lin Jia's thoughts, so she sat there, looked up at Bai Magnolia who leaned into the window, and thought about what Lin Jia would do if all the villages in Zhao County were infiltrated by the Salvation Sect.

The former magistrate pretended not to know, and when he reached the term of office, he handed over the seal and left; Will Lin Jia do the same?

Yu Yu felt that Lin Jia would not.

Although Lin Jia is sick and weak, she is weak and beautiful, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is proud of herself.

It didn't take long for Ye Chunshan to come over.

He was still training in the school field opposite the county office, and when he learned that Lin Jia was looking for him, he hurriedly followed Ah Qing over, wearing only a thin green cloth suit, and the shape of his muscles was clearly visible under the clothing.

Yu Yu had never seen such a manly man, so she couldn't help but look at it again.

Lin Jia noticed that Yu Yu looked at Ye Chunshan, and couldn't help but be sour-before, he also envied Ye Chunshan's strong and powerful muscles, but now that Yu Yu looked at Ye Chunshan more, he felt uncomfortable!

Yu Yu got up and poured a hair tip for Ye Chunshan.

Ye Chunshan knew the identity of Yu Gardenia, and sat there with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart, without looking at Yu Gardenia.

Lin Jia raised her hand to the end of her nose, coughed lightly, and said, "Yuyu, you go back to the inner house to have a look, I'll go back for lunch!"

Yu Yu replied "yes" and retreated.

Xu Erniang was taking Jin'er to sprinkle mint seeds in the flower garden under the corridor, and when she saw Yu Yu coming in, she hurriedly got up and said hello.

Yu Yu walked over with a smile, took the water scoop from Jin'er's hand, and scooped the water and poured it on the place where Xu Erniang had sown the seeds.

Xu Erniang's pretty face was red by the sun, and her spirit was very good, and she squatted there to scatter seeds, and said: "Now I plant it, but in a month, these flower beds are full of tender green mint seedlings." Peppermint grows when it sees the wind, and in summer, it is lush and can also repel mosquitoes......"

Yu Yu and Xu Erniang chatted while working, and without a trace, they led the topic to the salvation sect, and pretended to ask Xu Erniang casually: "Let's look at each other across the sea from Zhaoxian and Goryeo, I heard that there are many Goryeo people in the city!"

Xu Erniang said "um" and said: "At first glance, the Korean people look the same as us, and they can't tell the difference at all, but when they speak, they can still hear the weirdness!"

Yu Yu smiled and said, "I haven't seen a Korean person yet, I don't know what a Korean person looks like!"

Xu Erniang's face showed a look of disgust: "Small eyes, single eyelids, national face, anyway, it's not as good as our county people!"

Yu Yu scooped another scoop of water and poured it down, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Salvation Sect has sent priests in every village, and there are Dharma protectors above the priests, and the Dharma protectors are the small gods, and the big gods, and the main gods above the big gods, have you ever seen the priests of the Salvation Sect?"

Xu Erniang was silent for a moment, and said: "I have seen a protector of the Salvation Sect, and he is in charge of all the priests of the Salvation Sect in Zhao County......"

At this point, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly retched.

Yu Yu was startled, and hurriedly got up and stroked Xu Erniang's back.

Xu Erniang bowed her head and refused to say more.

After arranging lunch, Yu Yu didn't see the tea, so he went back to the room to look for the tea.

According to the division of labor among the people in the house, Xu Erniangzi and Jin'er are responsible for the stove and laundry, Yu Yu is responsible for personal service, and Qingcha is responsible for boiling water and tea.

Now Xu Erniang, Jin'er and Yuyu are performing their duties, but Qingcha Town is gone.

Yu Yu entered the north dark room of the west wing, and saw Qingcha sitting cross-legged on the couch in front of the window, lying on the small kang table with her hands on her face, with a smile on her face, and she didn't even know that she was coming in.

She sighed in her heart, picked up the barnacle and poured a cup of cold boiled water and drank it, then sat down next to Qingcha and asked, "Qingcha, do you really like Wang Qingyu?"

Qingcha nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly.

Yu Yu stared into her eyes: "Does Wang Qingyu like you?"

Qingcha didn't speak, but her instantly red face and watery eyes betrayed her.

Yu Yu understood all of this time, and said softly: "You look for an opportunity to test Wang Qingyu, if he is interested, let him come to see the adult, the adult has promised me, I don't want you to be worth silver!"

Qingcha was overjoyed, and suddenly rushed over and hugged Yu Yu: "Yu Yu, I like it so much!" I like you so much! Brother Wang has asked for leave to go out to do errands these days, and when he comes back, I will talk to him about getting married! ”

Yu Yu was held in Qingcha's arms, she hugged Qingcha with her backhand, her heart was full of helplessness of "the woman is not staying", and began to think about how to make some dowry for Qingcha.

Last time, the female doctor Ma came over and gave her five small silver bills, a total of five taels of silver, plus her previous savings, Yu Yu now has about twelve taels of silver savings.

She was going to give Qingcha ten taels of silver, and then make two new quilts for Qingcha......

After Yu Yu left, Lin Jia told Ye Chunshan about the salvation of the sect as it was, he said while observing Ye Chunshan's expression, and saw that Ye Chunshan's face showed a look of surprise, so he said: "Commander Ye, I have already sent someone to secretly investigate, except for the twelve villages around Yangshan that have not had time to preach because of the bandits in the past few years, all the other villages have priests from the salvation sect. I have already sent Ah Cheng and Ah Chi to Qixia County and Yi County, which are close to Zhao County, to investigate, but they have not yet returned, and I don't know if the activities of saving the Sect in Qixia County and Yi County are rampant. ”

Ye Chunshan frowned, and said, "The matter is serious, don't worry, I will immediately report this matter to Your Majesty with a secret fold."

Lin Jia nodded, lowered her eyes and did not speak.

It seems that his judgment is correct, Ye Chunshan is ostensibly his father's person, but he is actually a close confidant of Emperor Yongtai who can directly present the secret fold to Emperor Yongtai.

After a few more days, Ah Lan went out to buy ingredients, and brought back a basket of early-ripening cherries for Yu Yu by the way.

Yu Yu washed some cherries and sent a plate to Jin'er, and the other dish was brought back to the north dark room where she and Qingcha lived.

Qingcha was holding the embroidery, and when she saw Yu Yu coming in with a plate of crystal red cherries, her saliva was about to flow out, and she hurriedly said: "Yu Yu, feed me one!"

Yu Yu fed Qingcha and ate one, and she also took one and took a bite, who knew that it was so sour that her teeth were about to fall, and she hurriedly spit it out: "This cherry looks very red, why is it so sour!"

Qingcha was not too sour, and after a while, he ate all the cherries, and said unsatisfactorily: "Yuyu, this cherry is still strange and delicious, I want to eat something sour these days, is there anything else?" If you have one, give me another wash! ”

Yu Yu felt that something was wrong, and silently went to wash the cherries.

She washed a plate of cherries and sent them over, and she tasted another one, but her teeth were still sour.

After Yu Yu handed the cherry to Qingcha, he suddenly asked, "Qingcha, have you sent a monthly letter this month?"
